Ok you are now Jerry Brown’s campaign manager and you pulled off an upset win late in the primary season against Bill Clinton.
Now your candidate is the nominee;
Chances against Daddy Bush? Will history be different and allow Bush to have a second term? Without Clinton, is the Dem Nominee doomed as eccentric Governor Moonbeam goes whack-a-roni (or is portrayed that way by the Press)?
12 years of Pubbies may have been enough at that point. I voted for GHWB in that election, didn’t like Bubba, but I liked Brown then & might have voted for him.
